Details

On the heels of a string of opening dates for country superstar Luke Bryan, Pandora Country Artist to Watch and CMT Next Women of Country honoree Ashland Craft has announced additional fall headlining dates as part of her Dive Bar Beauty Queen Tour - which includes a stop at The Texas Club in Baton Rouge on October 24, 2025. 7:30 pm Doors open 8:00 pm Amanda Kate Ferris 9:00 pm Southland Ashland Craft follows In May, the songstress released her long-awaited, full-length sophomore album, Dive Bar Beauty Queen. Created with grit, soul, and fearless storytelling, the 11-track project finds Craft not only stepping into the spotlight once again as an artist, but owning the creative process as a co-writer and co-producer for the album. Written alongside some of Craft’s most treasured storytellers and recorded in Nashville with longtime collaborators Lee Starr and Jess Grommet, Dive Bar Beauty Queen is a confident, musically dynamic, no-skip album full of backroad wisdom, heartache, and honky-tonk swagger. From the reflective tone of “Momma Don’t Pray Like She Used To” to the blues-soaked bite of “Lie A Little” and the love-longing hooks of “Morning Person,” the album cements Ashland’s place as one of country music’s most compelling and self-defined new voices. “This record is a look back at the sounds I grew up on,” shares Ashland. “The stuff that got me hooked on music in the first place and kinda made me who I am, for better or worse. ‘Dive Bar Beauty Queen’ dives into the chaos of being in music, the highs, the heartbreaks, the hangovers, but also how telling stories through songs has always kept me sane and given me a place where I feel understood. I wrote the title track when I was 18, driving home from my “honkytonk house band” shift at 3am, and somehow it still hits harder now than ever (go figure). This album is equal parts growing up, screwing up, starting over and having a damn good time in the moment. I hope that through every song, people can hear the love I have for live music and the appreciation I hold for the folks who’ve shaped every experience and shown up to listen.”
